Changeling writes "According to Matt Larson, a representative of VeriSign Naming and Directory Services, on September 8, 2004 Verisign will be switching from performing 2 updates per day of the .com and .net zones to performing updates every few seconds. According to Matt, 'After the rapid DNS update is implemented, the elapsed time from registrars' add or change operations to the visibility of those adds or changes in all 13 .com/.net authoritative name servers is expected to average less than five minutes."

    Who can't wait a couple of days for DNS to propagate? There's something more important to worry about - I can't wait until Verisign lets go of its virtual monopoly on website certification. It's ridiculous to have something as important as that in the hands of one organisation.

    Aww bummer. Well either I was modded overrated because the joke wasn't funny, or because nobody got the joke.

    The 'NANOG' bit should be obvious. The traffic cone comment was a Red Dwarf reference. That should have gotten me an instant +4 Funny. :P
